CIT.TURE. Peas mature earliest in a light, rich soil. For general crop use a rich, deep loam or .nclimng to clay is 

 best. When grown in garden sow in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart; the rows 2 to 4 feet apart. Commence sowing the 

 extra earlv varieties as earlv as the ground can be worked in February or March; transplant for a succession every 

 two weeks until June, then discontinue until the middle of August, when a good crop may be secured by sowing the extra 

 early and early sorts for fall use. They should be kept clean and earthed up twice during the growth. The wrinkled 

 varieties are not as hardy as the small, round sort, and if planted early should have a dry soil, or they are liabl 

 in the ground They are. however, the sweetest and best flavored varieties. The dwarf
